The White Sox placed both J.J. Putz and Matt Thorton on the 15 day DL today putting a huge dent in their relief core. Putz has a sore knee and Thorton has a sore forearm. This is a major blow to the ChiSox's chances to overtake the Twins in the Central as Putz and Thorton were their best setup men and at time relievers period. White Sox are only 3.5 games back but Erik Threets and Lucas Harrell who were just called up don't provide the same as Thorton and Putz. Good luck Chicago, you're going to need it. Hey Kenny Williams, Brian Fuentes was just put on waivers. Claim him!
